Code can fail silently, containers can restart, agents can hang, and monitoring dashboards can mislead, but logs capture ground truth — or at least, that’s the assumption. In reality, logs are frequently the weakest security link, and adversaries know this.…

That visual separation lulls engineers into false confidence. Here’s the blunt truth: if the hypervisor breaks, your isolation is meaningless. Hypervisor-level exploits (VM escape, hypervisor compromise,…
